I must disagree with you on many many points o.o
1. Middle East has never been peaceful, for a long while at least. Always been invaded and plundered.
2. Egypt's Politicians :sy: Many are Hypocrites, if you're an Arab(but obviously you're not), I'd suggest you watch Bassem Youssef's El Bernameg or simply keep up with news.
3. Europe will not be united any time soon

They still have their quarrels. Greece may be kicked out, and their decision of Union is being questioned at the moment.
4. Yes, our leaders in Mesopotamia were great, but I don't think skinning people alive was, alongside many inhumane acts they committed. If you'd follow my civilization, you'd end up following an Eye for an Eye. I'm not sure how much that can be considered Pure Brilliance.
And as for the rest, no comment .-. You obviously don't live in ME man.
